 LIFE IN TIBETAN SETTLEMENTS

Traditional Tibetan Carpet Weaving: This is a good source of income to supplement the farming. The working hours can be flexible as you are paid on completion of a carpet. The whole process of producing an individual carpet takes months, normally the dyed wools are brought, they need to be spun into fine threads, the carpet weaving takes about a month then the patterns are engrossed with scissors to give them a 3D effect.
